When it comes to climate change, it's easy to feel helpless, which is why "Cool Food" is a game-changer. It shows us how to fight climate change with our forks. This new cookbook by Robert Downey Jr. and Thomas Kostigen is an empowering call to action that shows how each of us, through the simple choices we make every day, can be part of the solution.
What Is "Cool Food" About?
Let's be honest: most of us want to do better for the environment, but the actions you need to take can often feel overwhelming. "Cool Food" cuts through the green noise with simple, actionable steps and, best of all, drool-worthy recipes that not only taste good, they do good for the planet.
But this book isn't just about recipes, it's about a mindset shift. It's about reclaiming our power as consumers and realizing that every bite can be a vote for a healthier planet. You'll learn about:
- ancient grains with climate-fighting powers
- sustainable farming techniques that will blow your mind
- "future food" that sounds straight out of Star Wars
A Green New Deal For Your Kitchen (Minus The Political Drama)
The authors, Downey Jr., with his Hollywood charm, and Kostigen, with his journalist's eye, take you on a global adventure to meet farmers, chefs, and innovators who are changing the food game. You'll discover the unexpected benefits of meal kits, learn how to make your grocery list a weapon for good, and maybe even get brave enough to experiment with "air-fermented" foods (yes, you read that right).
